Dy EL ACE DISPOSALS 369-7007 Proud to keep Castlegar Clean DISPOSALS LTD tions in Canada, today Brownies are ages 6 to 9-years and in Castlegar there are four groups: Thrums; Robson; Woodland Patk; and Kinnaird. In Thrums, the Brown Owl is Susan Pro- fili; in Robson the Brown Owl is Dorothy Scott and the Junior Leader is Tara Scott; at Woodland Park the Brown Owl is Janice Smith and the Tawny Owl is Linda Adrain; and at Kinnaird the Brown Owl is Alda Gregory and the Tawny Owl is Agnes Walden. Each of these volunteers work with young girls to teach outdoor skills and crafts and introduce them to the wonderful world of nature There are two Guide troops, one at Kinnaird and one at Thrums. The Guider in Charge at Kinnaird is Joy Anderson and Linda Adrain is the Guider Assistant At Thrums, Susan Profili is the Guider in charge. Guides are ages 9 to 12 and you do not have to have been a Brownie to be a Guide, nor a Guide in order to bea Pathfinder. Pathfinders are ages 12 to 15. In Castlegar there is one troop based in Kin naird. Diana Sawchuk is the Guider in Charge and Jacquie Craig is the Guider Assistant Is Guiding still relevant today? According to Linda Worley, Acting District Com missioner, it certainly is, Rather than spending after schools hours in front of a TV, the guiding program is a wholesome activity that teaches caring, sharing, the environment, camping, cooperation and leadership skills. There is a regular cur riculum to follow and the two and a half hours of games; songs, crafts and badge work will contribute to a lifelong love of learning. It's,an opportunity for girls to work with their hands and their minds and learn the lifeskills that all of us will need in the 21st century For more information about the Guiding movement in the ¢ astlegar area, please contact Linda Worley at 693-5500 1e Scouts and Guides are always looking fo: ‘ome involved € movement and assist the leaders.

FS PHARMASAVE 1128 - 3rd St. (Downtown) Castlegar 365-7813 Heart attacks and angina Last week I discussed angina and risk factors for heart disease, and I explained how the blood vetsels bringing Oxygen to the heart can be nar rowed by fatty plaques These plaques form from early adulthood, and by the age of 50 or 60 bulge into the blood ves. sel wall lessening the hearts blood supply. Peo ple who smoke, have high blood pressure, have high cholesterol or who are diabetic and over weight, are at the most risk for plaque formation and therefore heart disease Heart disease can manifest in three ways: sud den death; angi- na; ora heart attack. About 50,000 Canadi- ans fall victim to heart deaths every year. When people have a heart attack, the blood supply to the heart is too little to provide the heart muscle with enough oxygen. An area of the heart muscle then dies. People who are having a heart attack usually have chest pain, though not always. They may describe this pain as the worst pain of their life. They will say the pain is heavy Squeezing or crushing, like angina, but more severe and lasting much longer. They will point to the central chest and 30 percent of people will describe the pain as going to the arms Unlike angina this pain does not always start with exertion, and if it does, it does not go away with rest. About half of these patients will have had angina in the past. People with heart attacks will often be weak, they sweat, fee] nauseous, may vomit, and may be anxious. They may also look pale, feel cold and clammy, and may be breathless. They are often restless and seem unable to find a comfort- able position. Palpitations (feeling one’s own heart beating) without chest pain rarely means a heart attack. Today Streptokinase is available and it will dissolve the blood vessel blockage. This allows an increased blood flow and so reduces the dam- age to the heart. Streptokinase, is therefore best Brought to you by Castlegar’s Medical Staff given within three hours of the onset of a heart attack Any man older than forty or woman older than 50, who has severe pain in the middle of their chest, that persists for more than 30 min utes should consult a doctor as soon as possible In addition, the most serious complication of a heart attack, besides sudden death, is if the heart's rythym changes. If the heart rythym is too fast, there is a risk that the heart will stop all together. Then, only Cardio-Pulmonary Resusci tation (CPR) or defibrillation will save the life (Defibrillation shocks the heart back to life.) Every adult in Canada should be trained to do CPR. If CPR is started within 3 minutes of a heart attack 70 percent of victims can survive Anyone who collapses with symptoms sugges- tive of a heart attack, should be transported to a hospital by ambulance All Castlegar ambulance personnel will do CPR if necessary and they will soon have defib- rillators in the ambulances. Patients with a heart attack may be given oxygen, nitroglycerine and an aspirin to chew. They will be then be put onfo a heart monitor and have blood tests donc Additional drugs will be given as necessary. Because any activity will increase the heart rate, patients are kept in bed for the first two days. Then they are allowed up slowly for increasing lengths of time over the next four days. After an uncomplicated heart attack the person will be allowed home between the sixth and tenth day. At home, people can start walking around the house, with 10 hours of rest a night. After 6 to 8 weeks the heart muscle will have com- pletely recovered: At this stage a regular exer- cise routine is essential to improve the strength of the heart art slowly, walk or swim, then gradually move faster and further, Exercise also improves the heart's blood supply, reduces high blood pressure and high cholesterol. By 12 weeks most people will be able to go back to work. Although some extra time should be allowed to complete tasks. Attention to the other risk fattors, high fat diet, cigarette smoking, obesity and inactivity is also essential to reduce the risk of another heart attack. . Beauty is not always something you can see L had a conversation with a friend of mine the other evening and we discussed the way we saw Ourselves when we were tecnagers, how we thought others saw-us. why we felt that way and how it affected us and those around us. For example when my friend was 15 or 16 she was somewhat overweight, She had never had very much confidence in herself She thought no on liked her because she was over weight, wore glasses and didn't wear fashionable clothes She sometimes thought that if she was taller, slimmer, or wore contact lenses’ instead of. glasses, she’would be more popular. It had gotten to the point where it affect- ed the people around her. They were wormed about her and were yery concemed about the way she was feeling. Thankfully she came to the conclusion that if people weren't going to accept her as she was it would be their loss. I think each and everyone of [mA Touch of Fashion Joan Andrade us has felt this way at one time or another. We feel that if we don’t measure up to the Sport’s Illus- trated model type we've got something wrong with us. Women as a whole have to learn that just because we don't have what the other has doesn't mean that we're any less of a per- son. Each and every one of us has different and wonderful qualities and talents that maybe some other people would like to have,We have to leam to accept our quali- ties and faults and how to work with what we've go. Beauty isn't skin deep, it comes from within and if we could only realize it, we'd be a lot happier with ourselves and life would be a lot easier.
